In this episode we talk with Chelsea Levy about:
- Experiencing the world as a straight sized person and a person in a larger body
- Going against the grain of the weight centric health model- as a human and as a dietitian
- Chelsea's experience with diabetes and prediabetes both personally and professionally
- How the intuitive eating and HAES spaces talk about (pre)diabetes and food choices and how you can explore self care in a way that doesn't trigger disordered eating
- Is "prediabetes" a thing we should be thinking about? What's the deal with the controversy around this?
- Talking about diabetes as a "theoretical" concept vs "individual" lived experience and how do you make choices that align with your own values.
- How to consider your health risks without spiraling into perfectionism and urgency
- Building in safe touch points into your care team and community
